Speculation is flying after a radio host suggested Eminem might replace Snoop Dogg at this year’s Australian Football League Grand Final.
The talk comes after backlash over Snoop’s recent comments about a same-sex scene in Disney’s Lightyear. The rapper has since apologised, but the controversy has fuelled doubts about whether he’ll still take the stage at the MCG.
Radio presenter Nikki Osborne claimed she’s heard from “people who know” that Eminem is lined up as the backup. The idea quickly set social media buzzing, with fans debating whether the Detroit legend could make a surprise appearance in Melbourne.
Still, a last-minute switch seems far-fetched. Eminem stepping in would risk tension with Snoop, and pulling off an arena show of that scale usually takes months of preparation. For now, the odds of Slim Shady flying to Australia on short notice look slim indeed, but the chatter has already added extra spice to the Grand Final build-up.
